Description

(1) In the following figures, the method according to the invention is explained with the aid of examples.

(2) In the figures:

(3) FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment example of a prefabricated deck in a commonly known design together with a newly created boat deck having a leveling layer;

(4) FIG. 2 shows a novel prefabricated deck having an integrated leveling layer toward a boat deck without a compensation layer or the like; and

(5) FIG. 3 shows a schematic sketch of the different height profiles and mutual distances.

(6) FIG. 1 is a sketch of a first embodiment example for implementation according to the method in accordance with the invention, in which a prefabricated deck 01 is illustrated at the upper side. Independently of the illustrated exemplary embodiment of the prefabricated deck 01, comprising a recess 07 for an exemplary water drain and a stiffening 08 for increasing impact resistance, the prefabricated deck 01 comprises two deck elements 02a and 02b. To this point, this corresponds to the embodiments known from the state of the art including a regular prefabricated deck for covering any kind of boat deck. The deck elements 02a can be realized as having a plurality of wooden bars as a deck covering 04 that alternate with expansion joints 05 and having a support plate 06 lying underneath. Among other things, the resulting material thickness 13 of the deck elements 02 is relevant for consideration in this context.

(7) Furthermore, the prepared boat deck 15 having a leveling means 18 is visible below. The prefabricated deck 01 can be glued to the correspondingly prepared boat deck 15 by applying an adhesive 19 in a commonly known manner. The leveling means 18 is applied to compensate for any unevenness of the real boat deck 16. The novel leveling means 18 corresponds to a filling compound commonly present in the state of the art. It is substantial that an upper mounting surface 17 on the leveling means 18, i.e. on the prepared boat deck 15, corresponds to the bottom face of the prefabricated deck 01.

(8) For implementation of one method according to the invention, FIG. 2 first of all shows the boat deck 36 at the bottom without any leveling layer and thus corresponds to the boat deck 16 of the previous view in FIG. 1. The upper face of the boat deck 36 has a bottom mounting surface 37. The prefabricated deck 31 can be mounted thereon by means of introduced glue 39.

(9) Contrary to all known embodiments, however, this exemplary prefabricated deck 31 comprises such prefabricated deck elements 32a and 32b that have a leveling means 38 at the bottom face. The leveling means 38 mirrors the contour of the bottom mounting surface 37 with its bottom face. Thus, the prefabricated deck 31 can be glued to the boat deck 36 in a constant manner across the surface. Furthermore, the prefabricated deck 31 and the respective prefabricated deck elements 32 have a deck element 02 known from the previous design according to FIG. 1, which has a deck covering 04 that alternates with expansion joints 05 and a bottom-side support plate 06.

(10) With the aid of FIG. 3, the method according to the invention is to be exemplarily explained with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 without considering the adhesive layer.

(11) At the top, the prefabricated deck having the target height profile 11 formed by the upper face is schematically outlined. The bottom face 12 of the deck element is located at a distance of the thickness 13 of the respective deck element. For illustration, the mounting height profile 22 is outlined at a distance underneath (in reality directly adjacent), having a corresponding contour. When realized, said mounting height profile 22 corresponds to the upper mounting surface 17, which is formed as the upper face of the applied leveling means 18 for gluing the prefabricated deck 01 (cf. FIG. 1). At the bottom, the lower mounting surface 37 (cf. FIG. 2) is illustrated, which represents the upper face of the boat deck 16 and 36, respectively, without the leveling means present. At a distance thereto (in reality directly adjacent), the actual height profile 21 is illustrated as being equivalent to the lower mounting surface 37. This means that the actual height profile 21 is formed by correspondingly measuring the upper face of the boat deck 16 and the lower mounting surface 37 as a basis for further calculation. The height difference 23 is calculated starting from the actual height profile 21 and the mounting height profile 22.

(12) The produced leveling means 18 (cf. FIG. 1) and 38 (cf. FIG. 2) now embodies the height difference 23, which was calculated before, as a real component. The leveling means 38 is applied to the bottom face of the deck element (cf. FIG. 2), and together they form a prefabricated deck element that can be directly applied to the uneven boat deck. In the variant according to FIG. 1, the leveling means 18 is applied to the upper face of the boat deck 16, thus producing an upper mounting surface 17 to be covered by a regular prefabricated deck 01.
